Backed up all my photos to proton drive, now how do I restore them?
Recently had to replace my phone due to an unfortunate accident on a boat. Thankfully I had I used the proton drive app to backup all of my photos, but now I can't figure out how to restore them all back onto my device. There's thousands of photos and proton seems to only load 24 at a time, is there a way that I can just just download all of them? On Android if it helps.
You're viewing a single thread.
I believe you can use the Proton Drive app to browse and view all the photos all you want.
If you want to download them all just to have them, I'm not sure that's necessary.
They don't need to live on your phone.
You can download specific photos, whenever you have a specific reason to do so.Backup is pretty limited without a method to restore?
Is it?
I think it may only need a mindset change.
Instead of seeing Proton as a backup of stuff that lives on my phone, it could be viewed as, the stuff lives on Proton and I have it on whatever device I need, whenever I have a need.
I never think of my phone as the primary storage for anything. It's too easy to loose.I see what you're saying but I don't agree with you. I want to have my data available to me offline. I'm not looking to have a cloud based phone/device. Not to mention the proton drive app kinda sucks compared to Google photos when it comes to markup and other editing. And scrolling through photos is painfully slow
